An employee mentioned that he is unhappy on his current team and that he is interested in applying for a job opening on your team. You would like to have him on your team; however, his current team is short staffed, and you are worried that his manager would be upset if he moved to your team. There are no guidelines for how to handle this situation at your current organization.
1. Look for other candidates for the open job because you do not want to cause issues for the other manager.
2. Discuss the issue with the other manager to determine how disruptive the move would be and look for ways to make the transition smoother.
3. Ask the head of your department for permission to move the employee onto your team.
4. Move the employee onto your team because if the employee is unhappy, it is better for him to move to your team than to leave the organization entirely.
5. Ask the employee to discuss the move with his manager before applying for the job.
